SIRCLES Good Practices Booklet: Supporting Circular Economy Opportunities for Employment and Social Inclusion
SIRCLES is a consortium of 7 Mediterranean countries (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy) led by the Waste Agency of Catalonia, and with 9 partners. These partners have applied different approaches adapted to the situation of each region, but sharing the same goal: the creation of job opportunities within the unemployed young people and women at risk of social exclusion.
The good practices booklet shows:
1. The composting area in Vila-seca, Spain
2. The composting area in Andros, Greece
3. The composting plant in Beitello, Palestine
4. The composting area in Aqaba, Jordan
5. The composting area in Hbaline, Lebanon
6. The composting area in Bizerte, Tunisia
7. The sensitizing campaign in Puglia, Italy
SIRCLES guideline of best practices for successful biowaste recycling
This document lists best practices linked to the separate collection and management of organic waste. It has been prepared with the support of all partners of the SIRCLES project in order to define innovative management plans and NEETs and women engagement in biowaste collection and treatment.
SIRCLES policy toolkit for circular economy employment and training
SIRCLES project aimed to develop skills and favour new job opportunities in the circular economy sector, in the biowaste one, providing marketable opportunities especially for NEET & Women in the involved target areas (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy). The planned pilots for biowaste processing have been implemented according to the Life Cycle Thinking approach and breaking down the process into different phases. The development of capacities along with job insertion and the engagement of local entities aimed to ensure sustainability beyond the project duration.
This toolkit is organised into four chapters: the chapter 1 delves into the SIRCLES model for biowaste, highlighting its importance and potential in achieving circularity; chapter 2 analyses the work context and methodology, providing insights into the research environment and the methods employed in the study; chapter 3 includes a section on the pilots conducted by SIRCLES, presenting the lessons learned from these practical implementations. Finally, chapter 4 offers potential future scenarios and proposes policy measures that can support and enhance the implementation of the SIRCLES model in various contexts.
SIRCLES composting pilot sites in Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia
The objective of SIRCLES project is to promote the social and labour inclusion of people at risk of social exclusion, by providing them with skills and jobs in the organic waste management sector. During the project, NEETs and women at risk of social exclusion in the project areas (Spain, Greece, Palestine, Jordan, Lebanon, Tunisia, Italy) received training in composting. Subsequently, some of them were hired to work at the SIRCLES composting areas. The following documents illustrate the activities carried out and the results achieved in the countries involved.
HELIOS CASE STUDY: Best practices in tackling social exclusion in the Mediterranean region
This publication is the result of the work conducted by the Italian project coordinator ARCES University College of Merit, under the leadership of Mr. Alessandro Pernice and Ms. Broni Hornsby.
The whole publication is the result of a constant comparison with the project partners and it reflects the lessons learned from the project.
In short, the publication aims to:
• Identify and analyse people who are Not in Employment, Education or Training (NEET)s profiling methodology, the Blue and Circular Economy (BaCE) profiling methodology and results of the profiling process
• Describe in detail the e-learning platform and the communication strategy, the results of the HELIOS training program and finally the importance of the Murals
• Show some case studies of the partner's work across different sectors (organic farming, hydroponics, aquaponics, circular food processing, waste management, recycling and reusing, etc.) to provide further insight into what the project consortium has done.
• Illustrate some experience of the participants who attended the training courses and traineeships in companies operating in the BaCE sectors
• Explain the approach followed within the project consortium which seeks to standardize best practices and to allow project results to be cascaded to other Mediterranean countries (outside the project partnership) severely affected by high NEET rates.

Training to empower: designing a new skills set for women-led social innovation in agri-food
The aim of this document is to homogeneously present the research activities and the development of the new training models carried out by all research units. To do so, the report is organized as follows:
The first chapter illustrates the research framework and methodologies employed, and describes the research guidelines defined by the coordinating unit, University of Rome Tor Vergata.
Then, four country specific chapters (2-5) report the activities carried out in each region: the first one presents the work performed by CESIE team (Sicily-Italy), the second one by ASALA team (Palestine), the third one by JOVESÓLIDES team (Valencia-Spain) and the last one by CAWTAR team (Tunisia). The first section of each partners’ chapter provides an overview of the team and the local context where the project was implemented, then the aim is to resume relevant information achieved through the desk research, related to the local context features and the existing training programs concerning the agri-food in the specific region.
Then, a section dedicated to the field research presents a list of the stakeholders engaged, underlying what is their expected contribution to the project, in a direct or indirect way, also in terms of post-training employability; in the same section the value chains and products selected by each unit are explained.
Section 3 of each chapter is dedicated to the local training needs, seen as skills and competences required by the job market and the entrepreneurial context, identifying a gap that will be filled through the provision of the training course.
The last section introduces the training model realized on the basis of local training needs retraced, divided in cross-cutting and sectorial topics. The training course will be as unified as possible, even if each unit decides how to differentiate training contents, especially through the definition of two different profiles identified as
agent for creation and agent for transition.
Chapter 6 concludes, providing an overview of the training curricula developed by each partner.
